I noticed that torque peaks here at 3500 rpms. It peaks at 3000 elsewhere and 2500 in the Focus ST.

The Focus ST doesn't use the 3.5 Ecoboost...

I noticed that torque peaks here at 3500 rpms. It peaks at 1500 rpms in the SHO and Flex and 2500 rpms in the F-150.

It's the same engine. All if them peak at 1500 rpm which is actually electronically limited so it could make much more. The peak torque is flat all the way to 5,000 rpm.
